HARROW HEALTH, INC.

NOTES TO THE UNAUDITED CONDENSED CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS

For the Three and Six Months Ended June, 2022 and 2021

 

NOTE 1. DESCRIPTION OF BUSINESS AND BASIS OF PRESENTATION

 

Company and Background

 

Harrow Health, Inc. (together with its subsidiaries, partially owned companies and royalty arrangements unless the context indicates or otherwise requires, the “Company” or “Harrow”) is an eyecare pharmaceutical company focused on the development, production, sale, and distribution of accessible and affordable innovative ophthalmic prescription medications.

 

The Company owns non-controlling equity positions in Surface Ophthalmics, Inc. (“Surface”) and Melt Pharmaceuticals, Inc. (“Melt”), both companies that began as subsidiaries of Harrow. Harrow also owns royalty rights in various drug candidates being developed by Surface and Melt.

 

Basis of Presentation

 

The Company has prepared the accompanying unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America (“GAAP”) for interim financial information and in accordance with the rules and regulations of the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission. Accordingly, they do not include all of the information and footnotes required by GAAP for audited financial statements. In the opinion of management, all adjustments (consisting of only normal recurring adjustments) considered necessary for a fair presentation have been included. Operating results for the three and six months ended June 30, 2022 are not necessarily indicative of the results that may be expected for the year ending December 31, 2022 or for any other period. For further information, refer to the Company’s audited consolidated financial statements and footnotes thereto included in the Company’s Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2021.

 

The accompanying unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements include the accounts of the Company and its wholly owned and majority-owned subsidiaries.

 

Harrow consolidates entities in which it has a controlling financial interest. The Company assesses control under the variable interest entity (“VIE”) model to determine whether the Company is the primary beneficiary of that entity’s operations. The Company consolidates (i) entities in which it holds and/or controls, directly or indirectly, more than 50% of the voting rights, and (ii) entities that the Company deems to be a VIE. All intercompany accounts and transactions have been eliminated in consolidation.

 

NOTE 2. SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES

 

The following represents an update for the three and six months ended June 30, 2022 to the significant accounting policies described in the Company’s Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2021.

 

Risks, Uncertainties and Liquidity

 

The Company is subject to certain regulatory standards, approvals, guidelines and inspections which could impact the Company’s ability to make, dispense, and sell certain products. If the Company was required to cease compounding and selling certain products as a result of regulatory guidelines or inspections, this may have a material impact on the Company’s financial condition, liquidity and results of operations.

 

Segments

 

Due to shifts in the Company’s strategic plans to further focus on growing the Company’s ImprimisRx business and suspension of activities related to starting up development-stage pharmaceutical companies, along with changes to the Company’s organizational and internal reporting structure, beginning in January 2022 management no longer evaluates the Company’s business in two segments and instead focuses on the performance of the business as a single operating business.

Basic and Diluted Net Loss per Common Share

 

Basic net loss per common share is computed by dividing net loss attributable to common stockholders for the period by the weighted average number of common shares outstanding during the period. Diluted net loss per share is computed by dividing the net loss attributable to common stockholders for the period by the weighted average number of common and common equivalent shares, such as stock options, restricted stock units (“RSUs”) and warrants, outstanding during the period. Common equivalent shares (using the treasury stock method) from stock options, unvested RSUs and warrants were 5,646,672 and 4,121,398 at June 30, 2022 and 2021, respectively. Included in the basic and diluted net loss per share calculation were RSUs awarded to directors that had vested, but the issuance and delivery of the shares are deferred until the director resigns. The number of shares underlying vested RSUs at June 30, 2022 and 2021 was 287,049 and 235,973, respectively.

 

The following table shows the computation of basic net loss per share of common stock for the three and six months ended June 30, 2022 and 2021:

Investment in Eton Pharmaceuticals, Inc.

 

As of June 30, 2022, the Company owned 1,982,000 shares of Eton common stock, which represents less than 10% of the equity interests of Eton. At June 30, 2022, the fair market value of Eton’s common stock was $2.62 per share. In accordance with the Accounting Standards Update (“ASU”) 2016-01, Financial Instruments-Overall (Subtopic 825-10): Recognition and Measurement of Financial Assets and Financial Liabilities, the Company recorded an unrealized investment loss from its Eton common stock position of $3,449,000 and $3,310,000, and $3,584,000 and $6,419,000 during the three and six months ended June 30, 2022 and 2021, respectively, related to the change in fair market value of its investment in Eton during the measurement period. As of June 30, 2022, the fair market value of the Company’s investment in Eton was $5,193,000.

 

Investment in Melt Pharmaceuticals, Inc. – Related Party

 

The Company owns 3,500,000 shares of common stock of Melt (representing approximately 46% of the equity interests as of June 30, 2022) of Melt. The Company analyzes its investment in Melt and related agreements on a regular basis to evaluate its position of variable interests in Melt. The Company has determined that it does not have the ability to control Melt, however it has the ability to exercise significant influence over the operating and financial decisions of Melt and uses the equity method of accounting for this investment. Under this method, the Company recognizes earnings and losses in Melt in its condensed consolidated financial statements and adjusts the carrying amount of its investment in Melt accordingly. Any intra-entity profits and losses are eliminated. During the year ended December 31, 2021, the Company reduced the carrying value of its common stock investment in Melt to $0 as a result of the Company recording its share of equity losses in Melt since its deconsolidation in 2019. As of June 30, 2022 and at the time of entering into the Melt Loan Agreement (see Note 4), the Company owned 100% of Melt’s indebtedness. Following the reduction of the carrying value of the Company’s common stock investment in Melt to $0, the Company began recording 100% of the equity method losses of Melt, based on its ownership of Melt’s total indebtedness. In addition, the Company treats interest paid in kind on the Melt Loan Agreement as an in-substance capital contribution and reduces its investment in Melt accordingly, rather than recording interest income. The Company has no other requirements to advance funds to Melt.

Investment in Surface Ophthalmics, Inc. – Related Party

 

The Company owns 3,500,000 common shares of Surface (representing approximately 20% of Surface’s equity interests following the closing of a round of financing completed by Surface in July 2021) of Surface and uses the equity method of accounting for this investment, as management has determined that the Company has the ability to exercise significant influence over the operating and financial decisions of Surface. Under this method, the Company recognizes earnings and losses in Surface in its consolidated financial statements and adjusts the carrying amount of its investment in Surface accordingly. The Company’s share of earnings and losses are based on the Company’s ownership interest of Surface. Any intra-entity profits and losses are eliminated. During the year ended December 31, 2021, the Company reduced its common stock investment in Surface to $0 as a result of the Company recording its share of equity losses of Surface. The Company has no other investments in Surface.

 

The following table summarizes the Company’s investment in Surface as of June 30, 2022:

 

   Cost   Share of Equity   Net 
   Basis   Method Losses   Carrying value 
Common stock  $5,320,000   $(5,320,000)  $- 

 

See Note 5 for more information and related party disclosure regarding Surface.

 

Impairment of Equity Method Investments and Note Receivable

 

On a quarterly basis, management assesses whether there are any indicators that the carrying value of the Company’s equity method investments and note receivable may be other than temporarily impaired. Indicators include financial condition, operating performance, and near-term prospects of the investee. To the extent indicators suggest that a loss in value may have occurred, the Company will evaluate both quantitative and qualitative factors to determine if the loss in value is other than temporary. If a potential loss in value is determined to be other than temporary, the Company will recognize an impairment loss based on the estimated fair value of the equity method investments and note receivable. At June 30, 2022 and December 31, 2021, no indicators of impairment existed.

 

NOTE 3. REVENUES

 

The Company accounts for contracts with customers in accordance with Accounting Standards Codification (“ASC”) 606, Revenues from Contracts with Customers. The Company has four primary streams of revenue: (1) revenue recognized from sales of products through its pharmacy and outsourcing facility and sales of branded products to wholesalers through a third-party logistics (“3PL”) facility, (2) revenue recognized from a commission agreement with a third party, (3) revenue recognized from transfer of acquired product profit, and (4) revenue recognized from intellectual property licenses and asset purchase agreements.

 

9

 

 

Product Revenues

 

The Company sells prescription drugs directly through its pharmacy, outsourcing facility and 3PL partner. Revenue from the Company’s pharmacy services includes: (i) the portion of the price the client pays directly to the Company, net of any volume-related or other discounts paid back to the client, (ii) the price paid to the Company by individuals, and (iii) customer copayments made directly to the pharmacy network. Sales taxes are not included in revenue. Following the core principles of ASC 606, the Company has identified the following:

 

1. Identify the contract(s) with a customer: A contract is deemed to exist when the customer places an order through receipt of a prescription, via an online order or via receipt of a purchase order from the Company. For branded products, orders are received through the Company’s 3PL partner, and the customer takes title of the products via formal purchase orders placed and fulfilled.
   
2.

Identify the performance obligations in the contract: Obligations for fulfillment of the Company’s contracts consist of delivering the product to the customer at their specified destination. ASU 2016-10 was issued in April 2016 and amended ASC 606 for shipping and handling activities as follows: If the customer takes control of the goods after shipment, shipping and handling activities would always be considered a fulfillment activity and not treated as a separate performance obligation. If the customer takes control of the goods before shipment, entities must make an accounting policy election to treat shipping and handling activities as either a fulfillment cost or as a separate performance obligation. The Company has elected to treat its shipping and handling activities as a fulfillment cost.

   
3. Determine the transaction price: The transaction price is based on an amount that reflects the consideration to which the Company expects to be entitled, net of accruals for estimated rebates, wholesaler chargebacks, discounts and other deductions (collectively, sales deductions) and an estimate for returns and replacements established at the time of sale. The Company utilizes the services of a third-party professional services firm to estimate rebates and chargebacks associated with sales of its branded products. The transfer of promised goods is satisfied within a year, and therefore there are no significant financing components. There is no non-cash consideration related to product sales.
   
4. Allocate the transaction price to the performance obligations in the contract: Because there is only one performance obligation for product sales, no allocation is necessary.
   
5. Recognize revenue when (or as) the entity satisfies a performance obligation: Revenue from products is recognized upon transfer of control of a product to a customer. This generally occurs upon shipment unless contractual terms with a customer state that transfer of control occurs at delivery.

 

Commission Revenues

 

The Company has entered into an agreement whereby it is paid a fee calculated based on sales the Company generates from a pharmaceutical product that is owned by a third party. The revenue earned from this arrangement is recognized, at which point there is no future performance obligation required by the Company and no consequential continuing involvement on the Company’s part to recognize the associated revenue.

 

Revenues From Transfer of Acquired Product Profit

 

The Company entered into an agreement whereby it purchased the exclusive commercial rights to assets associated with certain ophthalmic products from another pharmaceutical company (the “Seller”). During a temporary, six month transition period, the Seller continued to manufacture and market these products and transfer the net profit from the sale of the products to the Company. The revenue recognized by the Company from the transfer of net profit was recognized at the time profit from the product sales were calculated by the Seller and confirmed by the Company, typically on a monthly basis, at which point there is no future performance obligation required by the Company and no consequential continuing involvement on the Company’s part to recognize the associated revenue. On a quarterly basis, the Seller invoices the Company for all credits and reimbursements (“Chargebacks”) made to customers related to the products. The Company uses historical actual experience to estimate Chargebacks associated with the net profit transferred. The estimate is recorded as a reduction in revenues in the Company’s condensed consolidated statements of operations and accounts receivable in the condensed consolidated balance sheets, at the time the revenue is recognized.

 

Intellectual Property License Revenues

 

The Company currently holds five intellectual property licenses and related agreements pursuant to which the Company has agreed to license or sell to a customer with the right to access the Company’s intellectual property. License arrangements may consist of non-refundable upfront license fees, data transfer fees, research reimbursement payments, exclusive license rights to patented or patent pending compounds, technology access fees, and various performance or sales milestones. These arrangements can be multiple-element arrangements, the revenue of which is recognized at the point in time that the performance obligation is met.

 

10

 

 

Non-refundable fees that are not contingent on any future performance by the Company and require no consequential continuing involvement on the part of the Company are recognized as revenue when the license term commences and the licensed data, technology, compounded drug preparation and/or other deliverable is delivered. Such deliverables may include physical quantities of compounded drug preparations, design of the compounded drug preparations and structure-activity relationships, the conceptual framework and mechanism of action, and rights to the patents or patent applications for such compounded drug preparations. The Company defers recognition of non-refundable fees if it has continuing performance obligations without which the technology, right, product or service conveyed in conjunction with the non-refundable fee has no utility to the licensee and that are separate and independent of the Company’s performance under the other elements of the arrangement. In addition, if the Company’s continued involvement is required, through research and development services that are related to its proprietary know-how and expertise of the delivered technology or can only be performed by the Company, then such non-refundable fees are deferred and recognized over the period of continuing involvement. Guaranteed minimum annual royalties are recognized on a straight-line basis over the applicable term.

 

Revenue disaggregated by revenue source for the three and six months ended June 30, 2022 and 2021 consists of the following:

 

   2022   2021   2022   2021

Melt Note Receivable

 

On September 1, 2021, the Company entered into a loan and security agreement in the principal amount of $13,500,000 (the “Melt Loan Agreement”), as lender, with Melt, as borrower. Amounts borrowed under the Melt Loan Agreement bear interest at 12.50% per annum, which interest can be paid in-kind at the option of Melt until the maturity date. The Melt Loan Agreement permits Melt to pay interest only on the principal amount loaned thereunder through the term and all amounts owed will be due and payable on September 1, 2022.

Melt has granted the Company a security interest in substantially all of its personal property, rights and assets, including intellectual property rights, to secure the payment of all amounts owed under the Melt Loan Agreement. The Melt Loan Agreement contains customary representations, warranties and covenants, including covenants by Melt limiting additional indebtedness, liens, mergers and acquisitions, dispositions, investments, distributions, subordinated debt, and transactions with affiliates. The Melt Loan Agreement includes customary events of default, and upon the occurrence of an event of default (subject to cure periods for certain events of default), all amounts owed by Melt thereunder may be declared immediately due and payable by the Company, and the interest rate on the loan may be increased by 3% per annum. In April 2022, the Company entered into a First Amendment (the “Amendment”) to the Melt Loan Agreement. The Amendment, the effectiveness of which is subject to Melt consummating a qualifying financing of a minimum amount of $15,000,000 from third-party investors by August 31, 2022, added conditions related to minimum cash amounts, clarified the definition of material adverse effects and extended the maturity date to September 1, 2026.

NOTE 12. DEBT

 

8.625% Senior Notes Due 2026

 

In April 2021, the Company closed an offering of $50,000,000 aggregate principal amount of 8.625% senior notes due April 2026, and in May 2021 issued an additional $5,000,000 of such notes pursuant to the full exercise of the underwriters’ option to purchase additional notes (collectively, the “April Notes”). The April Notes were sold to investors at a par value of $25.00 per April Note and the offering resulted in net proceeds to the Company of approximately $51,909,000 after deducting underwriting discounts and commissions and expenses of $3,091,000. In June 2021, in a further issuance of the April Notes, the Company sold an additional $20,000,000 aggregate principal amount of such notes (the “June Notes,” and together with the April Notes, the “Notes”), at a price of $25.75 per June Note, with interest of $278,000 on the June Notes being accrued from April 20, 2021 as of the date of issuance. The June offering resulted in net proceeds to the Company of approximately $19,164,000 after deducting underwriting discounts and commissions and expenses of $1,158,000 and a premium on note issuance of $322,000. The June Notes are treated as a single series with the April Notes under the indenture governing the April Notes, dated as of April 20, 2021, and have the same terms as the April Notes (other than the initial offering price and issue date). The Notes are senior unsecured obligations of the Company and rank equally in right of payment with all of our other existing and future senior unsecured and unsubordinated indebtedness. The Notes are effectively subordinated in right of payment to all of the Company’s existing and future secured indebtedness and structurally subordinated to all existing and future indebtedness of the Company’s subsidiaries, including trade payables. The Notes bear interest at a rate of 8.625% per annum. Interest on the Notes is payable quarterly in arrears on January 31, April 30, July 31 and October 31 of each year, commencing on July 31, 2021. The Notes will mature on April 30, 2026. The issuance costs were recorded as a debt discount and are being amortized as interest expense, net of the amortization of the premium on note issuance, over the term of the Notes using the effective interest rate method.

 

Prior to February 1, 2026, the Company may, at its option, redeem the Notes, in whole at any time or in part from time to time, at a redemption price equal to 100% of the principal amount of the Notes to be redeemed, plus a make-whole amount, if any, plus accrued and unpaid interest to, but excluding, the date of redemption. The Company may redeem the Notes for cash in whole or in part at any time at our option on or after February 1, 2026 and prior to maturity, at a price equal to 100% of their principal amount, plus accrued and unpaid interest to, but excluding, the date of redemption. On and after any redemption date, interest will cease to accrue on the redeemed Notes.

 

Interest expense related to the Notes totaled $1,812,000 and $3,622,000 for the three and six months ended June 30, 2022, respectively, and $1,466,000 during the three and six months ended June 30, 2021, and included amortization of debt issuance costs and discount of $195,000 and $388,000 for three and six months ended June 30, 2022, respectively, and $192,000 during the three and six months ended June 30, 2021.

Stock Option Plan

 

On September 17, 2007, the Company’s Board of Directors and stockholders adopted the Company’s 2007 Incentive Stock and Awards Plan, which was subsequently amended on November 5, 2008, February 26, 2012, July 18, 2012, May 2, 2013 and September 27, 2013 (as amended, the “2007 Plan”). The 2007 Plan reached its term in September 2017, and we can no longer issue additional awards under this plan; however, options previously issued under the 2007 Plan will remain outstanding until they are exercised, reach their maturity or are otherwise cancelled/forfeited. On June 13, 2017, the Company’s Board of Directors and stockholders adopted the Company’s 2017 Incentive Stock and Awards Plan which was subsequently amended on June 3, 2021 (as amended, the “2017 Plan” together with the 2007 Plan, the “Plans”). As of June 30, 2022, the 2017 Plan provides for the issuance of a maximum of 6,000,000 shares of the Company’s common stock. The purposes of the Plans are to attract and retain directors, officers, consultants, advisors and employees whose services are considered valuable, to encourage a sense of proprietorship and to stimulate an active interest of such persons in the Company’s development and financial success. Under the Plans, the Company is authorized to issue incentive stock options intended to qualify under Section 422 of the Internal Revenue Code of 1986, as amended, non-qualified stock options, restricted stock units and restricted stock. The Plans are administered by the Compensation Committee of the Company’s Board of Directors. The Company had 2,067,284 shares available for future issuances under the 2017 Plan at June 30, 2022.

Options vested and expected to vest   3,178,296   $5.80    4.92   $5,539,000 

 

The aggregate intrinsic value in the table above represents the total pre-tax amount of the proceeds, net of exercise price, which would have been received by option holders if all option holders had exercised and immediately sold all shares underlying options with an exercise price lower than the market price on June 30, 2022, based on the closing price of the Company’s common stock of $7.28 on that date.

 

During the six months ended June 30, 2022, the Company granted stock options to certain employees. The stock options were granted with an exercise price equal to the current market price of the Company’s common stock, as reported by the securities exchange on which the common stock was then listed, at the grant date and have contractual terms of ten years. Vesting terms for options granted to employees during the three and six months ended June 30, 2022 included the following vesting schedule: 25% of the shares subject to the option vest and become exercisable on the first anniversary of the grant date and the remaining 75% of the shares subject to the option vest and become exercisable quarterly in equal installments thereafter over three years. Certain option awards provide for accelerated vesting if there is a change in control (as defined in the Plans) and in the event of certain modifications to the option award agreement.

 

The fair value of each option award is estimated on the date of grant using the Black-Scholes-Merton option pricing model. The expected term of options granted to employees and directors was determined in accordance with the “simplified approach,” as the Company has limited, relevant, historical data on employee exercises and post-vesting employment termination behavior. The expected risk-free interest rate is based on the U.S. Treasury yield for a period consistent with the expected term of the option in effect at the time of the grant. The financial statement effect of forfeitures is estimated at the time of grant and revised, if necessary, if the actual effect differs from those estimates. For option grants to employees and directors, the Company assigns a forfeiture factor of 10%. These factors could change in the future, which would affect the determination of stock-based compensation expense in future periods. Utilizing these assumptions, the fair value is determined at the date of grant.

 

The table below illustrates the fair value per share determined using the Black-Scholes-Merton option pricing model with the following assumptions used for valuing options granted to employees:

 

 

   2022 
Weighted-average fair value of options granted  $4.54 
Expected terms (in years)   6.11 
Expected volatility   68-70%
Risk-free interest rate   1.54-2.78%

As of June 30, 2022, there was approximately $2,013,000 of total unrecognized compensation expense related to unvested stock options granted under the Plans. That expense is expected to be recognized over the weighted-average remaining vesting period of 3.15 years. The stock-based compensation for all stock options was $258,000 and $530,000 during the three and six months ended June 30, 2022, respectively, and $569,000 and $1,021,000 during the same periods in 2021, respectively.

 

The intrinsic value of options exercised during the six months ended June 30, 2022 was $754,000.

 

Restricted Stock Units/Performance Stock Units

 

RSU awards are granted subject to certain vesting requirements and other restrictions, including performance and market-based vesting criteria. The grant date fair value of the RSUs, which has been determined based upon the market value of the Company’s common stock on the grant date, is expensed over the vesting period of the RSUs.

 

A summary of the Company’s RSU activity (including performance stock units) and related information for the six months ended June 30, 2022 is as follows:

 

 

   Number of RSUs

As of June 30, 2022, the total unrecognized compensation expense related to unvested RSUs was approximately $8,819,000, which is expected to be recognized over a weighted-average period of 1.10 years, based on estimated and actual vesting schedules of the applicable RSUs. The stock-based compensation for RSUs during the three and six months ended June 30, 2022 was $1,735,000 and $3,479,000, respectively, and $481,000 and $827,000 during the same periods in 2021, respectively.

NOTE 15. COMMITMENTS AND CONTINGENCIES

 

Legal

 

General and Other

 

In the ordinary course of business, the Company may face various claims brought by third parties and it may, from time to time, make claims or take legal actions to assert its rights, including intellectual property disputes, contractual disputes and other commercial disputes. Any of these claims could subject the Company to litigation.

 

Product and Professional Liability

 

Product and professional liability litigation represents an inherent risk to all firms in the pharmaceutical and pharmacy industry. We utilize traditional third-party insurance policies with regard to our product and professional liability claims. Such insurance coverage at any given time reflects current market conditions, including cost and availability, when the policy is written.

 

20

 

 

Indemnities

 

In addition to the indemnification provisions contained in the Company’s governing documents, the Company generally enters into separate indemnification agreements with each of the Company’s directors and officers. These agreements require the Company, among other things, to indemnify the director or officer against specified expenses and liabilities, such as attorneys’ fees, judgments, fines and settlements, paid by the individual in connection with any action, suit or proceeding arising out of the individual’s status or service as the Company’s director or officer, other than liabilities arising from willful misconduct or conduct that is knowingly fraudulent or deliberately dishonest, and to advance expenses incurred by the individual in connection with any proceeding against the individual with respect to which the individual may be entitled to indemnification by the Company. The Company also indemnifies its lessors in connection with its facility leases for certain claims arising from the use of the facilities. These indemnities do not provide for any limitation of the maximum potential future payments the Company could be obligated to make. Historically, the Company has not incurred any payments for these obligations and, therefore, no liabilities have been recorded for these indemnities in the accompanying condensed consolidated balance sheets.

 

Klarity License Agreement – Related Party

 

The Company entered into a license agreement in April 2017, as amended in April 2018 (the “Klarity License Agreement”), with Richard L. Lindstrom, M.D., a member of its Board of Directors. Pursuant to the terms of the Klarity License Agreement, the Company licensed certain intellectual property and related rights from Dr. Lindstrom to develop, formulate, make, sell, and sub-license the topical ophthalmic solution Klarity designed to protect and rehabilitate the ocular surface (the “Klarity Product”).

 

Under the terms of the Klarity License Agreement, the Company is required to make royalty payments to Dr. Lindstrom ranging from 3% to 6% of net sales, dependent upon the final formulation of the Klarity Product sold. In addition, the Company was required to make certain milestone payments to Dr. Lindstrom. All of the above referenced milestone payments were payable at the Company’s election in cash or shares of the Company’s restricted common stock. Payments totaling $92,000 and $122,000 were made during the three and six months ended June 30, 2022, respectively, compared to $35,000 and $70,000 during the same periods in 2021, respectively. Royalty expenses were $106,000 and $177,000 during the three and six months ended June 30, 2022, respectively, compared to $44,000 and $79,000 during the same periods in 2021, respectively, and was included in accounts payable to Dr. Lindstrom.

 

Injectable Asset Purchase Agreement – Related Party

 

In December 2019, the Company entered into an asset purchase agreement (the “Lindstrom APA”) with Dr. Lindstrom, a member of its Board of Directors. Pursuant to the terms of the Lindstrom APA, the Company acquired certain intellectual property and related rights from Dr. Lindstrom to develop, formulate, make, sell, and sub-license an ophthalmic injectable product (the “Lindstrom Product”).

 

Under the terms of the Lindstrom APA, the Company is required to make royalty payments to Dr. Lindstrom ranging from 2% to 3% of net sales, dependent upon the final formulation and patent protection of the Lindstrom Product sold. In addition, the Company is required to make certain milestone payments to Dr. Lindstrom including an initial payment of $33,000 upon execution of the Lindstrom APA. Dr. Lindstrom was paid $7,000 and $15,000 in cash during the three and six months ended June 30, 2022, respectively, and $7,000 and $14,000 during the same periods in 2021, respectively.

Eyepoint may terminate the Dexycu Agreement, subject to specified notice periods and specified limitations, if the Company fails to achieve certain minimum sales levels during specified periods. During the three and six months ended June 30, 2022, the Company recorded $1,212,000 and $2,532,000, respectively, and $827,000 and $1,312,000 during the same periods in 2021, respectively, in commission revenues related to the Dexycu Agreement.

 

Sales and Marketing Agreements

 

The Company has entered various sales and marketing agreements with certain organizations to provide exclusive and non-exclusive sales and marketing representation services to Harrow in select geographies in the U.S. in connection with the Company’s ophthalmic pharmaceutical compounded formulations or related products.

 

Under the terms of the sales and marketing agreements, the Company is generally required to make commission payments equal to 10% to 14% of net sales for products above and beyond the initial existing sales amounts. In addition, the Company is required to make periodic milestone payments to certain organizations in shares of the Company’s restricted common stock if net sales in the assigned territory reach certain future levels by the end of their terms. Commission expenses of $1,100,000 and $2,147,000 were incurred under these agreements for commission expenses during the three and six months ended June 30, 2022, respectively, and $1,032,000 and $1,836,000 during the same periods in 2021, respectively.

 

Asset Purchase, License and Related Agreements

 

The Company has acquired and sourced intellectual property rights related to certain proprietary innovations from certain inventors and related parties (the “Inventors”) through multiple asset purchase agreements, license agreements, strategic agreements and commission agreements. In general, these agreements provide that the Inventors will cooperate with the Company in obtaining patent protection for the acquired intellectual property and that the Company will use commercially reasonable efforts to research, develop and commercialize a product based on the acquired intellectual property. In addition, the Company has acquired a right of first refusal on additional intellectual property and drug development opportunities presented by these Inventors.

 

In consideration for the acquisition of the intellectual property rights, the Company is obligated to make payments to the Inventors based on the completion of certain milestones, generally consisting of: (1) a payment payable within 30 days after the issuance of the first patent in the United States arising from the acquired intellectual property (if any); (2) a payment payable within 30 days after the Company files the first investigational new drug application (“IND”) with the U.S. Food and Drug Administration (“FDA”) for the first product arising from the acquired intellectual property (if any); (3) for certain of the Inventors, a payment payable within 30 days after the Company files the first new drug application with the FDA for the first product arising from the acquired intellectual property (if any); and (4) certain royalty payments based on the net receipts received by the Company in connection with the sale or licensing of any product based on the acquired intellectual property (if any), after deducting (among other things) the Company’s development costs associated with such product. If, following five years after the date of the applicable asset purchase agreement, the Company either (a) for certain of the Inventors, has not filed an IND or, for the remaining Inventors, has not initiated a study where data is derived, or (b) has failed to generate royalty payments to the Inventors for any product based on the acquired intellectual property, the Inventors may terminate the applicable asset purchase agreement and request that the Company re-assign the acquired technology to the Inventors. During the three and six months ended June 30, 2022, $297,000 and $510,000 were incurred under these agreements as royalty expenses, respectively, and $261,000 and $493,000 during the same periods in 2021, respectively.

 

Sintetica Agreement

 

In July 2021, the Company entered into a License and Supply Agreement (the “Sintetica Agreement”) with Sintetica S.A. (“Sintetica”), pursuant to which Sintetica granted the Company the exclusive license and marketing rights to its patented ophthalmic drug candidate (“AMP-100”) in the U.S. and Canada.

 

Pursuant to the Sintetica Agreement, the Company will pay Sintetica a per unit transfer price to supply AMP-100, along with a per unit royalty for units sold. The Company is required to pay Sintetica up to $18,000,000 in one-time milestone payments including a $5,000,000 payment (the “Upfront Payment”) due within 30 days of signing the Sintetica Agreement and the balance of payments due upon achievement of certain regulatory and commercial milestones. Under the terms of the Sintetica Agreement, Sintetica will be responsible for regulatory filings for AMP-100 in the U.S. The Upfront Payment along with an additional milestone payment of $3,117,000 was paid and recorded as R&D expenses during the year ended December 31, 2021. During the three and six months ended June 30, 2022, no amounts were paid or accrued under the Sintetica agreement.

 

Subject to certain limitations, the Sintetica Agreement has a ten year term, and allows for a ten-year extension if certain sales thresholds are met.

 

22

 

 

Wakamoto Agreement

 

In August 2021, the Company entered into a License Agreement and a Basic Sale and Purchase Agreement (together, the “Wakamoto Agreements”) with Wakamoto Pharmaceutical Co., Ltd. (“Wakamoto”), pursuant to which Wakamoto granted the Company the exclusive license and marketing rights to its ophthalmic drug candidate (“MAQ-100”) in the U.S. and Canada.

 

Pursuant to the Wakamoto Agreements, Wakamoto will supply MAQ-100 to the Company, and the Company will pay Wakamoto a per unit transfer price to supply MAQ-100. In addition, the Company is required to pay Wakamoto various one-time milestone payments totaling up to $2,000,000 upon the achievement of certain regulatory milestones and up to $6,200,000 upon the achievement of certain commercial milestones. Under the terms of the Agreements, the Company will be responsible for regulatory filings and fees for MAQ-100 in the U.S. and Canada. Through June 30, 2022, no amounts have been paid or accrued under the Wakamoto agreements.

 

Subject to certain limitations, the term of the Agreements is for five years from the date of the FDA’s market approval of MAQ-100 and allows for a five-year extension if certain unit sales thresholds are met.

 

Presbyopia Asset Purchase Agreement – Related Party

 

In December 2019, the Company entered into an asset purchase agreement (the “Presbyopia APA”) with Richard L. Lindstrom, M.D., a member of its Board of Directors. Pursuant to the terms of the Presbyopia APA, the Company acquired certain intellectual property and related rights from Dr. Lindstrom to develop, formulate, make, sell, and sub-license an ophthalmic topical product to treat presbyopia (the “Presbyopia Product”).

 

Under the terms of the Presbyopia Product, the Company is required to make royalty payments to Dr. Lindstrom ranging from 2% to 4% of net sales, dependent upon the final formulation and patent protection of the Presbyopia Product sold. Dr. Lindstrom was paid $0 in cash during the three and six month periods ended June 30, 2022 and 2021, and was due $0 at June 30, 2022 and 2021. The Company incurred $0 for royalty expenses related to the Presbyopia APA during the three and six month periods ended June 30, 2022 and 2021.

 

NOTE 16. CONCENTRATIONS

 

The Company has two products that each comprised more than 10% of total revenues during the three and six month periods ended June 30. These products collectively accounted for 32% and 32% of revenues during the three and six months ended June 30, 2022, respectively, and 36% and 36% during the same periods in 2021, respectively.

 

The Company sells its compounded formulations to a large number of customers. There were no customers who comprised more than 10% of the Company’s total pharmacy sales during the three and six months ended June 30, 2022 and 2021.

 

The Company receives its active pharmaceutical ingredients from three main suppliers. These suppliers collectively accounted for 72% and 73% of active pharmaceutical ingredient purchases during the three and six months ended June 30, 2022, respectively, and 85% and 79% during the same periods in 2021, respectively.

 

NOTE 17. SUBSEQUENT EVENTS

 

The Company has performed an evaluation of events occurring subsequent to June 30, 2022 through the filing date of this Quarterly Report. Based on its evaluation, no events other than those described below need to be disclosed.

 

In July 2022, the Center for Medicare & Medicaid Services (“CMS”) published in the Federal Register the calendar year (CY) 2023 Medicare Hospital Outpatient Prospective Payment System (“OPPS”) and ASC Payment System Proposed Rule (“Proposed Rule”). If the Proposed Rule is finalized, in the relevant part, without changes, it would result in loss of pass-through related separate payment for Dexycu, when furnished in hospital outpatient department settings reimbursed by Medicare. This would reduce the amount of Medicare reimbursement provided to the Dexycu customers and, if finalized without changes, result in a significant reduction in the Company’s Dexycu commission revenues. A Final Rule is expected to be issued in early November 2022. In the Final Rule, CMS may adopt or modify the Proposed Rule’s proposals related to Dexycu. If the Proposed Rule’s proposals related to Dexycu are finalized, they would be effective on January 1, 2023. If adopted as currently proposed, the Company does not expect the Proposed Rule to have a material impact on its operations, financial statements and cash flows.

Overview

 

We are an eyecare pharmaceutical company focused on the development, production, sale, and distribution of accessible and affordable innovative ophthalmic prescription medications.

 

The Company owns non-controlling equity positions in Surface Ophthalmics, Inc. (“Surface”) and Melt Pharmaceuticals, Inc. (“Melt”), both companies that began as subsidiaries of Harrow. Harrow also owns royalty rights in various drug candidates being developed by Surface and Melt.

 

ImprimisRx

 

ImprimisRx is our ophthalmology-focused prescription pharmaceutical compounding business. From its inception in 2014, ImprimisRx, which consists of integrated research and development, production, dispensing/distribution, sales, marketing, and customer serve capabilities, has offered physician customers and their patients access to critical medicines to meet their clinical needs. Initially, ImprimisRx focused exclusively on compounded medications to serve needs unmet by commercially available drugs. We make our formulations available at prices that are, in most cases, lower than non-customized commercial drugs. ImprimisRx’s customer base has grown to include more than 10,000 U.S. eyecare dedicated prescribers and institutions. Our current ophthalmology formulary includes over twenty compounded formulations, many of which are patented or patent-pending, and are customizable for the specific needs of a patient. Some of our compounded medications are various combinations of drugs formulated into one bottle and others are preservative free formulations. Depending on the formulation, the regulations of a specific state, and ultimately, the needs of the patient, ImprimisRx products may be dispensed as patient-specific medications from our 503A pharmacy, or for in-office use, or made according to current good manufacturing practices (or “cGMPs”) or other FDA-guidance documents, in our FDA-registered New Jersey outsourcing facility (“NJOF”). In August 2020, ImprimisRx entered into a Commercial Alliance Agreement (the “Dexycu Agreement”) with Eyepoint Pharmaceuticals, Inc. (“Eyepoint”), pursuant to which Eyepoint granted ImprimisRx the right to promote DEXYCU® (dexamethasone intraocular suspension) 9% for the treatment of post-operative inflammation following ocular surgery in the United States. Pursuant to the Dexycu Agreement, Eyepoint pays ImprimisRx a fee that is calculated based on the quarterly sales of DEXYCU in the U.S.

Branded Pharmaceuticals

 

Over the past two years, in order to more fully serve the needs of our growing customer base, we have invested in broadening our product portfolio to include FDA-approved products. Our investments in this regard have led to commercial partnerships to sell DEXYCU and Avenova, the acquisition of two later stage drug candidates, and the recent acquisition of U.S. rights to four FDA-approved ophthalmic products. These transactions, and those we are continuing to pursue, are focused in eyecare pharmaceuticals. We believe that our continued investments in these and other products will result in our ability to provide more physician prescribers and their patients with access to a complete portfolio of affordable eyecare pharmaceuticals to address their clinical needs.

 

IOPIDINE®, MAXITROL®, MOXEZA®

 

In December 2021, we acquired U.S. commercial rights to four FDA-approved ophthalmic medicines: IOPIDINE 1% and 0.5% (apraclonidine hydrochloride); MAXITROL (neomycin/polymyxin B/dexamethasone) ophthalmic suspension; and MOXEZA (moxifloxacin hydrochloride). We believe by expanding our product portfolio to include branded FDA-approved products, we will be uniquely positioned to leverage our ImprimisRx platform to introduce unique lifecycle management strategies that could grow sales and address needs of our customers that we are unable to meet with our other compounded product offerings.

 

At the time of closing the acquisition of the four products, we agreed to a transitional period with the seller, which lasted six months following the closing of the transaction. During the transition period, the seller continued to sell the products and transferred the net profit from those sales to us. Following the transition period which ended in June 2022, we made IOPIDINE 1% and MAXITROL commercially available, and expect to re-launch MOXEZA at a later date.

 

AMP-100

 

In July 2021, we acquired the exclusive marketing and supply rights to AMP-100 in the U.S. and Canada from Sintetica S.A. (“Sintetica”). AMP-100 is a patented, ophthalmic topical anesthetic drug candidate. If FDA-approved, the active ingredient used in AMP-100 will be the first approved use of this active ingredient in the U.S. ophthalmic market. A new drug application (“NDA”) for AMP-100 was submitted by Sintetica to the FDA in the fourth quarter of 2021 and the FDA has assigned the application standard review and a Prescription Drug User Fee Act (PDUFA) target action date of October 16, 2022.

 

MAQ-100

 

In August 2021, we acquired the exclusive marketing rights to MAQ-100 in the U.S. and Canada from Wakamoto Pharmaceutical Co., Ltd. (“Wakamoto”). MAQ-100 is a preservative-free triamcinolone acetonide ophthalmic injection drug candidate. MAQ-100 is marketed and sold by Wakamoto in Japan as MaQaid®. Following Japan’s Ministry of Health Labor and Welfare (“MHLW”) approval, MaQaid was launched in Japan in 2010, indicated as an intravitreal injection for visualization for vitrectomy. Since its initial MHLW approval, the indication for MaQaid was expanded to include (a) treatments for alleviation of diabetic macular edema, (b) macular edema associated with retinal vein occlusion (or RVO), and (c) non-infectious uveitis. We intend to leverage the clinical data used for Japanese market approval of MaQaid to support a clinical program and U.S. market NDA submission of MAQ-100 for visualization during vitrectomy. In August 2022, we had a Type B meeting with the FDA to discuss our planned clinical program for MAQ-100. The FDA provided clarity on what would be required for a future NDA filing of MAQ-100, and while we are still waiting on the release of the FDA’s minutes from the meeting, we remain optimistic about being able to efficiently advance the clinical program of MAQ-100.

 

We expect to continue to acquire and/or develop additional FDA-approved/approvable ophthalmic products and product candidates that will allow us to leverage our commercial infrastructure to promote, sell, and ultimately bring these products to market.

 

Carved-Out Businesses (De-Consolidated Businesses)

 

We have ownership interests in Surface, Melt, and Eton Pharmaceuticals, Inc. (“Eton”) and hold royalty interests in some of Surface’s and Melt’s drug candidates. These companies are pursuing market approval for their drug candidates under the FDCA, including in some instances under the abbreviated pathway described in Section 505(b)(2), which permits the submission of an NDA where at least some of the information required for approval comes from studies not conducted by or for the applicant and for which the applicant has not obtained a right of reference.

Noncontrolling Equity Interests

 

Surface Ophthalmics, Inc.

 

Surface is a clinical-stage pharmaceutical company focused on development and commercialization of innovative therapeutics for ocular surface diseases.

 

SURF-100 for Chronic Dry Eye Disease: Surface completed its 350-patient Phase 2 clinical trial, comparing five active arms of SURF-100 study drugs with the current market-leading prescription chronic dry eye treatments. According to Surface, the SURF-100 Phase 2 clinical trial achieved positive results for both signs and symptoms of chronic dry eye disease, as well as generating positive data on onset and duration of action.

 

SURF-200 for Acute Dry Eye: Surface has completed enrollment of its Phase 2 clinical trial for SURF-200 and expects to announce top-line results later this year.

 

SURF-201 for Pain and Inflammation Following Ocular Surgery: According to the Surface results, SURF-201 was dosed twice daily, met its primary endpoints of absence of inflammation at both Day 8 and Day 15 and was found to be safe and well-tolerated by the patient group. In addition, a secondary endpoint showed almost 90% of patients given SURF-201 were pain free at Day 15.

 

In 2018, Surface closed an offering of its Series A Preferred Stock. At that time, we lost our controlling interest and deconsolidated Surface from our consolidated financial statements. During May, June and July of 2021, Surface closed an offering of its preferred stock at a purchase price of $4.50 per share resulting in gross proceeds to Surface of approximately $25,000,000 (the “Surface Series B Offering”). We own 3,500,000 shares of Surface common stock, which was approximately 20% of Surface’s equity and voting interests as of June 30, 2022. Harrow owns mid-single digit royalty rights on net sales of SURF-100, SURF-200 and SURF-201.

 

Melt Pharmaceuticals, Inc.

 

Melt is a clinical-stage pharmaceutical company focused on the development and commercialization of proprietary non-intravenous, sedation and anesthesia therapeutics for human medical procedures in hospital, outpatient, and in-office settings. Melt intends to seek regulatory approval for its proprietary technologies, where possible. In December 2018, we entered into an Asset Purchase Agreement with Melt (the “Melt Asset Purchase Agreement”), pursuant to which Harrow assigned to Melt the underlying intellectual property for Melt’s current pipeline, including its lead drug candidate MELT-300. The core intellectual property Melt owns is a patented series of combination non-opioid sedation drug formulations that we estimate to have multitudinous applications.

 

MELT-300 is a novel, sublingually delivered, non-IV, opioid-free drug candidate being developed for procedural sedation. Melt filed an investigational new drug application (“IND”) with the FDA in June 2020 and began its clinical program for MELT-300. In February 2021, Melt announced data from, and the successful completion of, its Phase 1 study. Melt began enrolling patients in its Phase 2 study for MELT-300 during the fourth quarter of 2021.

 

In January 2019, Melt closed an offering of its Series A Preferred Stock. At that time, we gave up our controlling interest and deconsolidated Melt from our consolidated financial statements. We own 3,500,000 shares of Melt common stock, which was approximately 46% of Melt’s equity and voting interests issued and outstanding as of June 30, 2022. In September 2021, we provided Melt with a senior secured loan with a principal amount of $13,500,000, which is intended to fund the Phase 2 program of MELT-300. In connection with the loan, we were given the right, but not the obligation, to match any offer received by Melt associated with the commercial rights to any of its drug candidates for a period of five years. Melt is required to make mid-single digit royalty payments to the Company on net sales of MELT-300, while any patent rights remain outstanding, subject to other conditions. Melt can require the Company to cease compounding like products at the time of FDA approval of MELT-300. If approved, we do not expect a cessation of compounding like products to have a material impact on our operations and financial performance.

 

Eton Pharmaceuticals, Inc.

 

Eton is a commercial-stage orphan-disease focused pharmaceutical company developing and commercializing innovative drug products. Its product portfolio and pipeline includes several products and drug candidates in various stages of development across a variety of dosage forms. In May 2017, we gave up our controlling interest in Eton. We own 1,982,000 shares of Eton common stock, which is less than 10% of the equity and voting interests issued and outstanding of Eton as of June 30, 2022.

Factors Affecting Our Performance

 

We believe the primary factors affecting our performance are our ability to increase revenues of our proprietary compounded formulations and certain non-proprietary products, grow and gain operating efficiencies in our pharmacy operations, potential regulatory-related restrictions, optimize pricing and obtain reimbursement options for our proprietary compounded formulations, and continue to pursue development and commercialization opportunities for certain of our ophthalmology and other assets that we have not yet made commercially available as compounded formulations. We believe we have built a tangible and intangible infrastructure that will allow us to scale revenues efficiently in the near and long-term. All of these activities will require significant costs and other resources, which we may not have or be able to obtain from operations or other sources. See “Liquidity and Capital Resources” below.

 

Reimbursement Options

 

Dexycu is covered under Medicare Part B, and we are developing drug candidates that we believe will be covered under Medicare Part B. New drugs approved by the FDA that are used in surgeries performed in a hospital outpatient departments or ambulatory surgical centers may receive a transitional pass-through reimbursement under Medicare, provided they meet certain criteria, including a “not insignificant” cost criterion. Pass-through status allows for separate payment (i.e., outside the packaged payment rate for the surgical procedure) under Medicare Part B, which consists of Medicare reimbursement for a drug based on a defined formula for calculating the minimum fee that a manufacturer may charge for the drug. Under current regulations of the Centers for Medicare & Medicaid Services (“CMS”), pass-through status applies for a period of three years; that is measured from the date Medicare makes its first pass-through payment for the product, following which the product would be incorporated into the cataract bundled payment system, which could significantly reduce the pricing for that product. Following expiration of pass-through status, under current CMS policy, non-opioid pain management surgical drugs when used on Medicare Part B patients in an outpatient setting can qualify for ongoing separate payment. CMS’ current non-opioid separate payment policy, like other CMS policies, can be changed by CMS through its annual rulemaking and comment process. We believe that CMS will continue its separate payment policy for non-opioid pain management surgical drugs, which has been in effect since 2019.

 

In July of 2022, CMS issued its Proposed CY 2023 Payment Rule for Hospital Outpatient Services and ASCs. Based on the summary in the proposed rule, Dexycu will no longer qualify as a separately payable product in an ASC or outpatient setting and will instead be bundled into the general cataract procedure code effective January 1, 2023, when the final rule, if approved as currently proposed, will go into effect. As a result, we expect our commissions from sales of Dexycu to significantly decrease at the end of 2022 and in 2023; however such effect will not have a material impact on our business, financial statements and cash flows.

 

Our proprietary ophthalmic compounded formulations are currently primarily available on a cash-pay basis. However, MOXEZA, MAXITROL and IOPIDINE are, and we expect that other drug candidates we are developing, if approved, will be eligible for reimbursement by third-party payors. We are devoting time and resources to seek reimbursement and patient pay opportunities for these and other drug products and candidates. However, we may be unsuccessful in achieving these goals, as many third-party payors have imposed significant challenges for products to be eligible for reimbursement in recent years. Moreover, third-party payors, including Medicare, are increasingly attempting to contain health care costs by limiting coverage and the level of reimbursement for new drugs and by refusing, in some cases, to provide coverage for uses of approved products for disease indications for which the FDA has not granted labeling approval. Further, the Patient Protection and Affordable Care Act, as amended by the Health Care and Education Affordability Reconciliation Act of 2010 (collectively, the “Health Care Reform Law”), may have a considerable impact on the existing U.S. system for the delivery and financing of health care and could conceivably have a material adverse effect on our business. As a result, reimbursement from Medicare, Medicaid and other third-party payors may never be available for any of our products or, if available, may not be sufficient to allow us to sell the products on a competitive basis and at desirable price points. We are communicating with government and third-party payors in order to make our drug products and candidates available to more patients and at optimized pricing levels. However, if government and other third-party payors do not provide adequate coverage and reimbursement levels for our drug products and candidates, the market acceptance and opportunity for them may be limited.

 

COVID-19 Pandemic

 

A novel strain of coronavirus was first identified in Wuhan, China in December 2019. The disease caused by it, COVID-19, was declared a global pandemic by the World Health Organization in March 2020. On March 18, 2020, CMS released guidance for U.S. healthcare providers to limit all elective medical procedures in order to conserve personal protective equipment and limit exposure to COVID-19 during the pendency of the pandemic. In addition to limiting elective medical procedures, many hospitals and other healthcare providers have strictly limited access to their facilities during the pandemic. The COVID-19 pandemic has negatively impacted the global economy, disrupted global supply chains and healthcare delivery, led to social distancing recommendation, and created significant volatility in financial markets. In May 2020 and the following months, U.S. states and geographies began easing restrictions associated with the COVID-19 pandemic including those restrictions related to elective procedures. We have since seen sales of our products return to historical norms and trends as restrictions associated with elective procedures and the COVID-19 pandemic have eased.

 

27

 

 

However, given the unprecedented and dynamic nature of the COVID-19 pandemic, including any virus mutations/variants, we may not be able to reasonably estimate the impacts it may have on our financial condition, results of operations or cash flows in the future, especially if there are new restrictions in elective procedures in the future which would have an adverse impact, which may be material, on our future revenues, profitability and cash flows.

 

Recent Developments

 

In April 2022, we entered into a First Amendment (the “Amendment”) to our loan and security agreement previously entered into on September 1, 2021 with Melt. The Amendment provides for the following:

 

Melt is required to maintain a minimum cash balance of $7,000,000 for one year following the effective date of the Amendment; and a minimum cash balance of $5,000,000 at all times after the one year anniversary of the effective date of the Amendment.

 

The maturity date by which all amounts owed under the loan agreement are payable was extended to September 1, 2026, unless otherwise accelerated pursuant to the terms of the loan agreement.

 

The definition of Material Adverse Effect was amended so that such an effect will be deemed to have occurred if the data from the phase 2 study of MELT-300 fails to demonstrate the benefit of the combination MELT-300 study drug versus the individual components of the same MELT-300 study drug, as reasonably determined by us.

 

The effectiveness of the Amendment is subject to, among other conditions, Melt consummating a qualifying financing of a minimum amount of $15,000,000 from third-party investors by August 31, 2022.

 

Results of Operations

 

The following period-to-period comparisons of our financial results for the three and six months ended June 30, 2022 and 2021 are not necessarily indicative of results for any future period.

 

Revenues

 

Our revenues include amounts recorded from sales of proprietary compounded formulations, sales of branded products to wholesalers through a third-party logistics facility, commissions from third parties and revenues received from royalty payments owed to us pursuant to out-license arrangements.

 

The following presents our revenues for the three and six months ended June 30, 2022 and 2021:

 

   For the Three Months Ended       For the Six Months Ended     
   June 30,   $   June 30,   $ 
   2022   2021   Variance   2022   2021   Variance 
Product sales, net  $21,518,000   $17,297,000   $4,221,000   $41,858,000   $32,245,000   $9,613,000 
Commission revenues   1,212,000    827,000    385,000    2,532,000    1,312,000    1,220,000 
Transfer of profits   593,000    -    593,000    1,053,000    -    1,053,000 
License revenues   -    10,000    (10,000)   -    20,000    (20,000)
Total revenues  $23,323,000   $18,134,000   $5,189,000   $45,443,000   $33,577,000   $11,866,000 

 

The increase in revenues between periods was related to an increase in sales volumes of our ophthalmology products, an increase in commissions attributable to sales of Dexycu® and transfer of profits from recently acquired products. In June of 2022, the Company completed the transfer from Seller to Harrow of Iopidine and Maxitrol NDAs and relaunched those products, as a result, we will not record revenues associated with the transfer of profits associated with those products in future periods.

Cost of Sales

 

Our cost of sales includes direct and indirect costs to manufacture formulations and sell products, including active pharmaceutical ingredients, personnel costs, packaging, storage, royalties, shipping and handling costs, manufacturing equipment and tenant improvements depreciation, the write-off of obsolete inventory and other related expenses.

 

The following presents our cost of sales for the three and six months ended June 30, 2022 and 2021:

 

   For the Three Months Ended       For the Six Months Ended     
   June 30,   $   June 30,   $ 
   2022   2021   Variance   2022   2021   Variance 
Cost of sales  $6,534,000   $4,417,000   $2,117,000   $12,497,000   $8,187,000   $4,310,000 

 

The increase in our cost of sales between periods was largely attributable to an increase in unit volumes sold.

 

Gross Profit and Margin

 

   For the Three Months Ended       For the Six Months Ended     
   June 30,   $   June 30,   $ 
   2022   2021   Variance   2022   2021   Variance 
Gross Profit  $16,789,000   $13,717,000   $3,072,000   $32,946,000   $25,390,000   $7,556,000 
Gross Margin   72.0%   75.6%   -3.6%   72.5%   75.6%   -3.1%

 

The decrease in gross margin between the three and six months ended June 30, 2022 and 2021 is primarily attributable to amortization of acquired NDAs beginning in January 2022, along with a production event in April 2022 that led to a one-time purge of inventory (and which had no impact on quality of released product), and increased discounts provided during 2022 associated with volume-based purchases.

 

Selling, General and Administrative Expenses

 

Our selling, general and administrative expenses include personnel costs, including wages and stock-based compensation, corporate facility expenses, and investor relations, consulting, insurance, filing, legal and accounting fees and expenses as well as costs associated with our marketing activities and sales of our proprietary compounded formulations and other non-proprietary pharmacy products and formulations.

 

The following presents our selling, general and administrative expenses for the three and six months ended June 30, 2022 and 2021:

 

   For the Three Months Ended       For the Six Months Ended     
   June 30,   $   June 30,   $ 
   2022   2021   Variance   2022   2021   Variance 
Selling, general and administrative  $14,185,000   $9,123,000   $5,062,000   $27,583,000   $17,287,000   $10,296,000 

 

The increase in selling, general and administrative expenses between periods was primarily attributable to an increase in consulting expense related to an increase in stock-based compensation associated with performance stock units that were granted in July 2021, an increase in consulting expenses associated with regulatory improvements and to support the transition of recent product acquisitions, and an increase in expenses related to the addition of new employees in sales, marketing and other departments to support current and expected growth.

 

Research and Development Expenses

 

Our research and development (“R&D”) expenses primarily include personnel costs, including wages and stock-based compensation, expenses related to the development of intellectual property, investigator-initiated research and evaluations, formulation development, acquired in-process R&D and other costs related to the clinical development of our assets.

 

29

 

 

The following presents our research and development expenses for the three and six months ended June 30, 2022 and 2021:

 

   For the Three Months Ended       For the Six Months Ended     
   June 30,   $   June 30,   $ 
   2022   2021   Variance   2022   2021   Variance 
Research and development  $914,000   $425,000   $489,000   $1,572,000   $1,017,000   $555,000 

 

During the three and six months ended June 30, 2022, research and development expenses increased from the same periods in 2021 primarily as a result of increased costs associated with the clinical programs for AMP-100 and MAQ-100 and program fees associated with Iopidine.

 

Interest Expense, Net

 

Interest expense, net was $1,794,000 and $3,586,000 for the three and six months ended June 30, 2022 compared to $1,314,000 and $1,827,000 for the same periods in 2021, respectively. The increase during the period ended June 30, 2022 compared to the same period in 2021 was primarily due to an increase in the outstanding principal amount of our debt obligations.

 

Equity in Losses of Unconsolidated Entities

 

During the three and six months ended June 30, 2022, we recorded a loss of $2,646,000 and $5,532,000, respectively, related to our share of losses in Melt, compared to $942,000 and $2,261,000 for the same periods last year, respectively.

 

Investment Loss from Eton

 

During the three and six months ended June 30, 2022 we recorded a loss of $3,449,000 and $3,310,000, respectively, related to the change in fair market value of Eton’s common stock compared to losses of $3,584,000 and $6,419,000 for the same periods last year, respectively.

 

Gain on Forgiveness of PPP Loan

 

During the six months ended June 30, 2021, we recorded a gain $1,967,000 related to the forgiveness of our $1,967,000 loan received pursuant to the Paycheck Protection Program (“PPP”) under the Federal Coronavirus Aid, Relief, and Economic Security Act.

Liquidity and Capital Resources

 

Liquidity

 

Our cash on hand at June 30, 2022 was $46,438,000, compared to $42,167,000 at December 31, 2021.

 

As of the date of this Quarterly Report, we believe that cash and cash equivalents of $46,438,000 at June 30, 2022 will be sufficient to sustain our planned level of operations and capital expenditures for at least the next 12 months. In addition, we may consider the sale of certain assets including, but not limited to, part of, or all of, our investments in Eton, Surface, Melt, and/or any of our consolidated subsidiaries. However, we may pursue acquisitions of revenue generating products, drug candidates or other strategic transactions that involve large expenditures or we may experience growth more quickly or on a larger scale than we expect, any of which could result in the depletion of capital resources more rapidly than anticipated and could require us to seek additional financing to support our operations.

 

We expect to use our current cash position and funds generated from our operations and any financing to pursue our business plan, which includes developing and commercializing drug candidates, compounded formulations and technologies, integrating and developing our operations, pursuing potential future strategic transactions as opportunities arise, including potential acquisitions of additional pharmacy, outsourcing facilities, drug company and manufacturers, drug products, drug candidates, and/or assets or technologies, and otherwise fund our operations. We may also use our resources to conduct clinical trials or other studies in support of our formulations or any drug candidate for which we pursue FDA approval, to pursue additional development programs or to explore other development opportunities.

Net Cash Flow

 

The following provides detailed information about our net cash flows:

 

   For the Six Months Ended 
   June 30, 
   June 30,   June 30, 
   2022   2021 
Net cash provided by (used in):          
Operating activities  $5,827,000   $8,648,000 
Investing activities   (669,000)   8,445,000 
Financing activities   (887,000)   51,457,000 
Net change in cash and cash equivalents   4,271,000    68,550,000 
Cash and cash equivalents at beginning of the period   42,167,000    4,301,000 
Cash and cash equivalents at end of the period  $46,438,000   $72,851,000 

 

Operating Activities

 

Net cash provided by operating activities during the six months ended June 30, 2022 was $5,827,000 compared to $8,648,000 during the same period in the prior year. The decrease in net cash provided by operating activities between the periods was mainly attributed to an increase in our accounts receivable amounts.

 

Investing Activities

 

Net cash (used in) provided by investing activities during the six months ended June 30, 2022 was $(669,000) compared to $8,445,000 during the same period in the prior year. Cash used in investing activities in 2022 was primarily associated with equipment and software purchases. Cash provided by investing activities in 2021 was primarily associated with the sale of a portion of our investment in Eton.

 

Financing Activities

 

Net cash (used in) provided by financing activities during the six months ended June 30, 2022 and 2021 was $(887,000) and $51,457,000, respectively. Cash used in financing activities during the six months ended June 30, 2022 was primarily related to payment of taxes upon vesting of RSUs. Cash provided by financing activities during the six months ended June 30, 2021 was primarily related to proceeds received from the sale of notes, net of the payment of all outstanding obligations to the Company’s previous senior lender, SWK Funding, LLC and its partners.

 

Sources of Capital

 

Our principal sources of cash consist of cash provided by operating activities from our ImprimisRx business, and in 2021, proceeds from the sale of senior notes and a portion of our Eton common stock. We may also sell some or all of our ownership interests in Surface, Melt or our other subsidiaries, along with the some or all of the remaining portion of our Eton common stock.

 

The changing trends and overall economic outlook in light of the COVID-19 pandemic, including the historic interim stay-at-home orders and bans on elective surgeries, created uncertainty surrounding our operating outlook and may impact our future operating results if the COVID-19 pandemic worsens in the U.S. In addition, we may acquire new products, product candidates and/or businesses and, as a result, we may need significant additional capital to support our business plan and fund our proposed business operations. We may receive additional proceeds from the exercise of stock purchase warrants that are currently outstanding. We may also seek additional financing from a variety of sources, including other equity or debt financings, funding from corporate partnerships or licensing arrangements, sales of assets or any other financing transaction. If we issue equity or convertible debt securities to raise additional funds, our existing stockholders may experience substantial dilution, and the newly issued equity or debt securities may have more favorable terms or rights, preferences and privileges senior to those of our existing stockholders. If we raise additional funds through collaboration or licensing arrangements or sales of assets, we may be required to relinquish potentially valuable rights to our product candidates or proprietary technologies or formulations, or grant licenses on terms that are not favorable to us. If we raise funds by incurring additional debt, we may be required to pay significant interest expenses and our leverage relative to our earnings or to our equity capitalization may increase. Obtaining commercial loans, assuming they would be available, would increase our liabilities and future cash commitments and may impose restrictions on our activities, such as the financial and operating covenants. Further, we may incur substantial costs in pursuing future capital and/or financing transactions, including investment banking fees, legal fees, accounting fees, printing and distribution expenses and other costs. We may also be required to recognize non-cash expenses in connection with certain securities we may issue, such as convertible notes and warrants, which would adversely impact our financial results.

 

31

 

 

We may be unable to obtain financing when necessary as a result of, among other things, our performance, general economic conditions, conditions in the pharmaceuticals and pharmacy industries, or our operating history, including our past bankruptcy proceedings. In addition, the fact that we have a limited history of profitability could further impact the availability or cost to us of future financings. As a result, sufficient funds may not be available when needed from any source or, if available, such funds may not be available on terms that are acceptable to us. If we are unable to raise funds to satisfy our capital needs when needed, then we may need to forego pursuit of potentially valuable development or acquisition opportunities, we may not be able to continue to operate our business pursuant to our business plan, which would require us to modify our operations to reduce spending to a sustainable level by, among other things, delaying, scaling back or eliminating some or all of our ongoing or planned investments in corporate infrastructure, business development, sales and marketing and other activities, or we may be forced to discontinue our operations entirely.

Evaluation of Disclosure Controls and Procedures

 

We maintain disclosure controls and procedures that are designed to ensure that information required to be disclosed in our reports filed or submitted pursuant to the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended (the “Exchange Act”), is recorded, processed, summarized and reported within the time periods specified in the rules and forms of the SEC, and that such information is accumulated and communicated to our management, including our principal executive officer and principal financial officer, as appropriate, to allow for timely decisions regarding required disclosure.

 

Under the supervision and with the participation of our principal executive officer and principal financial officer, our management conducted an evaluation of our disclosure controls and procedures, as such term is defined under Rule 13a-15(e) promulgated under the Exchange Act, as they existed on June 30, 2022.

PART II

 

OTHER INFORMATION

 

Item 1. Legal Proceedings

 

In the ordinary course of business, we may face various claims brought by third parties and we may, from time to time, make claims or take legal actions to assert our rights, including intellectual property disputes, contractual disputes and other commercial disputes. Any of these claims could subject the Company to litigation.

 

Item 1A. Risk Factors

 

In addition to the other information contained in this Quarterly Report you should consider the risk factors and the other information in our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2021, including our audited financial statements and the related notes and “Management’s Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations.” If any such risks actually occur, our business, financial condition, results of operations and future growth prospects would likely be materially and adversely affected. In these circumstances, the market price of our common stock would likely decline and you may lose all or part of your investments. Additional risks and uncertainties not presently known to us or that we currently deem immaterial also may impair our business operations.
